Emperor lockups caused by C&C Renegade

I mean you can update the drivers for your monitor.

Try buying a can of compressed air, from your local electronics shop,

The Temp of your AUX is way too high, I think that's your problem found !

If you can't get compressed air, then power off your pc, unscrew the fan from your cpu and clean it with a soft paintbrush, ok.Don't forget to clean your heatsink on the cpu too,it's the thing with fins on it, usually silver or brown color.

Also check out the power supply fan to see if this is also full of dust ???

And that Aux T

[Atomic Mitten]

The Aux Temperature seems to be your CPU Temperature.

CPU means Central Processing unit, the brain if you like of your Computer.

Depending on your climate in Chile,if it's really hot where you live this will effect how hot your computer runs.

I already told you how to clean the dust off your fan.

Dust will cause any electronic part to overheat with time.

The fan is designed to take the heat away from your CPU, so if the airflow is restricted by dust, then it can't do it's job very well.

Do you understand that ?

Maybe you should visit your local Library and read some books about Computers.

A very good book is a series of books from an author called Andy Rathbone, the book series is called computers for dummies etc.

One of my favourite books from him is : Upgrading and fixing PCs for dummies, The book number is:ISBN 0-7645-0719-2. It costs 19 us dollars.

Check out Amazon.com there you can order it online.

This book should answer alot of your questions.

Hope this has helped you ?

I still not find a compresed air can, but I dn

[gryphon]

you have a socket 370 motherboard if I am correct. . . think from my head the max amount of CPU you can get for that is about 1.2 gig. That is about the double amount of your current CPU. Although for newer applications it isn't that much [ I don't wan'na say it's not enough as it will depend on the application you would like to run . . ]

So you will indead have to buy he combination you mentioned [ motherboard / processor ]. And as far for the will it fork good part.. . .depending on what you are refering to with new things, loading time will be inprooved. Although depending on the specific types of mobo/CPU you are going to buy. . compatebilety I don't know. . .

[Atomic Mitten]

Did you buy the book ? ;)

[gryphon]

nope. . rented it from my neighbour . .

[Atomic Mitten]

I meant procyon. lol ;D

[Procyon]

Nope, that book is in English , and I can`t find it here.

But I bought a similar book in Argentina, but it doesn`t explain very well. It explain why a CPU overheat, but not how to fix it. Is called "Your own technical support at home" or something like that, in spanish, and written by an argentinian guy of a pc magazine.

Obviusly I will change my MoBo to a compatible with a 2,5+ Ghz Processor.

[Atomic Mitten]

Hi Procyon. The book is available in most languages, including Spanish !

Try typing in Windows for dummies in a search engine, it should find something for you.

Or check out the web site in my attachment. ;)

Is there not a book shop near where you live ?[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

[Procyon]

Here are a lot of the books shops but nobody sell computer books.In my city is also hard to find Hardware and software/games, so I must travel to bigger cities.

I live in a region surrounded by lakes, where the green prairies with cows and the native forests with giants and old trees are plentiful, and where it rains most of the year. In a country in the south of the world that is among the vast Pacific Ocean and the high Andes mountain range. With those things you think is easy to find computer stuff here? ;)

[Atomic Mitten]

Buy online ! ;)

That means you could live in a place to start big business

My WC3 work excelent now, but E:B4D still locking up. Is suppossed that WC3 use more hardware resources like Ram, processor, etc. than Emperor. ???So, why Emp lockups, if it demands less resources?

Who says EBFD uses less ?

[Procyon]

I think WC3 uses the same or maybe a bit more, because of the spells etc. ???

[Atomic Mitten]

When you say Empbfd locks up, do you mean it freezes up your comp? after how much time does it lock up ?

Can you play for awhile before it locks up ?

[Procyon]

Yes my comp freezes. In campaign I can only play the first maps before the guild heighliners misson. In skirmish I don`t have time to deploy the MCV!! After it freezes, the music still playing and I must reset my PC.

[Procyon]

I cleaned all my fans with an air compressed can, but the AUX Tº doesn`t get lower!!! And guess what... :P ...Emp still locking up. :'(

[Nyarlathotep]

Could you make a recap of what you've done ? Also, attach your dxdiag ?

What programs have you installed so far ?

[Atomic Mitten]

Looking at your system spec, I don't think Generals will run on your pc,It's just to slow to handle the graphics of Generals.

[Procyon]

I know that I must upgrade my Pc before play Generals.

I haven`t done or installed something in the last time.

That Tº could be caused by the ADSL modem, that is hot and is near the PC tower?[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

[gryphon]

your DSL modem shouldn't be heating up your case. . . .Routers will get warm, although they shouldn't get that hot.

[Procyon]

- I have uninstalled and reinstalled Emp a lot of times.

-I have reformated my HD 2 times

- I have cleaned my fans with compressed air

- I have installed tha latest and older versions of DirectX and Geforce2 drivers.

and after all this Emp still freezes.

[Atomic Mitten]

What kind of mouse do you have installed Procyon ?

Make and whether it's PS2 compatible or HID compliant.
